Latest Development: The US government is expected to reduce tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 50-65%, pending final negotiations.
Timeline: Changes likely within 2 weeks to 1 month (by late May or June 2025).
Key Considerations:
。 Refunds for Already-Paid Tariffs? Unclear—monitor official announcements.
。 Impact on Transshipment (Vietnam, etc.): If tariffs drop, transshipment strategies may become unnecessary.
。 Potential Shipping Surge: A sudden spike in shipments could cause container shortages and rate hikes.
Observation: If the US imposes 50-65% tariffs, China may adjust its own tariffs on US goods.
Recommendation: Diversify sourcing to mitigate trade war risks.
New Policy: The US is phasing in port fees based on vessel tonnage/container volume, increasing shipping costs.
Current Status: 40-50% of shipping routes have been suspended due to weak demand.
Post-May 1 Forecast: Carriers may push for a $2,000/container rate increase—success depends on shipment volumes.
Risk of Backlogs: If tariffs drop, a sudden surge in shipments could lead to port congestion, rollovers, and further price spikes.
Hotspots: Antwerp (Belgium) and Bremerhaven (Germany) facing severe delays.
Recommendation: Consider alternative routes or air freight for urgent shipments.
Update: Hong Kong Post has temporarily halted US-bound shipments due to tariff uncertainties.
Changes: Lower FBA fees for apparel, accessories, bags; free returns for high-return categories.
Opportunity: Shift focus to Europe for cost efficiency.
New Market Entry: Sellers should assess demand in Latin America as an alternative to US reliance.
Trend: 63% of TikTok Shop buyers rely on influencer recommendations.
Strategy: Leverage influencer marketing for US e-commerce sales.
Wait for Tariff Confirmation: If feasible, delay shipments until the 50-65% tariff cut is confirmed (expected late May).
Monitor Rollover Risks: If demand surges, book early and confirm carrier space.
Explore European Markets: Lower logistics costs and stable demand.
Assess Latin America (Brazil): New TikTok Shop entry offers growth potential.
Multi-Modal Transport: Combine sea + rail/air to avoid port delays.
Negotiate Long-Term Rates: Lock in contracts before potential mid-2025 price hikes.
Avoid Grey-Market Transshipment: Countries like Vietnam and South Korea are cracking down on tariff evasion.
